"Even as a little girl, I loved all types of fantasy art. I remember collecting stickers, calendars, books (virtually anything I could get my hands on) that depicted fantasy and mythological artwork. Over the years, I filled countless drawing pads with my own fantasy renditions: unicorns, fairies, dragons, mermaids and the like. Even to this day, I still get that old familiar rush of excitement when I look at a beautiful fantasy painting. It is this incredible exhilaration that keeps me painting my own creations in hopes that I too can evoke these feelings in the hearts and minds of others. I can't tell you how it makes my heart sing when I hear from others who tell me how my art has touched them in a special way. I am inspired by many things...Mother Earth and all her beauty, with all of her faeries and nature spirits, the glorious moon above with all her mysteries, the twining vines and twisted trees of the forest, the twinkle in my little girl's eyes as she discovers the world around her, and most of all, by the magic that exists in even the smallest things. Each painting is like a wonderful journey for me, and I never know just where it will take me in the end."
